had some funky hair, the first punk rock look.My buddy out from the
Arizona Rez would differ with you about who the bad asses were. Our Apache
brothers sure didn't mess around with no Geneva Convention when it came to
prisoners of war. The soldiers or settlers who got scalped were the lucky ones
as the southwest natives often would "stake" a captive out in the desert naked,
with his eyes forced open all of the time facing the fierce desert sun. This
would leave him in the open for the elements to slowly consume him.Most
of my native blood is from California where our ancestors greeted the Momnax or
ocean people, which is what they called the English speaking people, with open
arms only to end up losing the land to the newcomers. To this day, English is
called by this word which also means sailor as the first Englishmen they met
were sailors.|

early seventies,the Mohawks who came to our union hall didn't wear there hair in
the traditional Mohawk "doo".If they ever really wore it that way? All the guys
I knew had normal haircuts,but were very proud of their heritage,and would tell
you about it in heartbeat.The guy I worked with was a biker.I shouldn't have
used him as an example.He was an excellent Iron Worker,but a party monster
beyond a white man's comprehenshion.|

screwed up, confusing Shavers for Lyle. I saw a photograph the other night with
Holmes on the canvass and Shavers standing over him. It stuck in my mind and
made me think Shavers put Foreman down. Mea culpa.Steve - I think Joe
was only able to really lift himself for Ali by the time of the Thrilla. He
hated Muhammad so much he lifted for him. I consider Frazier was all but shot at
that stage, and that Ali was part of the way to being shot, too. The Thrilla
completely finished Joe off.That fight was something special. I think
the fight was more the result of attitude, rather than either man being at their
physical peaks. Monty Pythons was hilarious and I remember the scene you
say. Those guys were crazy. Do you remember the Goodies ?Angelo - a lot
of the stuff with Frazier is guess work because of the gaps in his resume. Out
of all the guys whose fans claim them to be in the top elite, he has more holes
than anyone else. Louis fought all the great contenders of his era. So did
Marciano. And Ali, Holmes, and the list goes on.But Frazier didn't. We
can try and guess the results of the fights he didn't have, but they are only
guesses. I believe that had Frazier fought the guys he didn't fight after Ali 1,
he would have lost several and his record would have lost some more of its
gloss. The common fact that the guys he missed were punchers, gives us
a clue he was ducking punchers. The fact that Foreman knocked him down so many
times (added to the Bruce knockdown and Bonavena knockdowns) gives us further
circumstantial evidence of that.Then add the fact that we see the
commonality in Frazier chose non-punchers like Stander and Daniels, and we are
starting to get a concrete feel about what really happened.And then we
assess his record and see that he was hardly taking any fights, add in that he
lost 4 of his last 10 fights and, in my opinion, his goose is cooked. It wasn't
an accident he didn't fight those guys.Q: What sits on the bottom of the
ocean with six guns ready to blow your head off ?A: Billy The Squid !
Sorry.|
